| A long circuit from the Steakhouse on the A90 near Cramond, via Burnshot Gate, the 66m hill above it, Home Farm, Mansion Hill, Chapel Gate, Mons Hill, Barnbougle Castle, New England, the Walled Garden, Dalmeny House and the John Muir Way. These hills feel like they’re rarely climbed, despite being on the edge of Edinburgh. | sclater | 22/08/2021 |
| Birthday bag from Dalmeny bus stop. Nice open field then summit. Get outside the field for great view down the Forth. On to New England. | Thearlaichdubh | 22/02/2021 |
| Tracks & pastures of Dalmeny Estate after New England Hill. We warily skirted the docile shaggy Highland Cattle just in case, as those horns look pointy. Their thick coats reduce the need for much fat to keep warm, so their meat is lean -and sells well - a good profit source from poor pasture. Hill in sight of the main Dalmeny House (mansion) presumably from which it was named. Half way round a 5 Tump circular from the famous Forth Rail Bridge with L. | Chris Pearson | 15/07/2020 |
| Detour on bike round from Queensferry to Davidson’s Mains and back. Parked bike to the northwest and through one grass field to the runnable summit woodland. Two possible tops either side of a big rhodie one rocky the other a mound. | fasgadh | 09/03/2020 |
